"I would go anywhere right now, but, being a Raven, it would be amazing just to play for my home city and play for the Ravens," said West, who measured in at 5 feet 9, 225 pounds Friday and will run the 40-yard dash on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. "The Ravens, that was my favorite team growing up."

West rushed for 2,509 yards and 42 total touchdowns last season and owns the school record with 86 career touchdowns. He finished with 4,584 career yards.

The Ravens also are meeting with Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde, Boston College running back Andre Williams and Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey.

West said that he's eager to prove that his game will translate to the NFL after excelling in the Football Championship Subdivision.

"Some of the greatest guys who played the game in the NFL come from small schools, guys like Jerry Rice," West said. "Competition doesn't change. The rules of the game doesn't change. Football is football, no matter what level you're on.

"I just want to compete and just perform on a big stage. It's a blessing. It's a dream come true. This is one [of] my dreams, now I'm just living it."
